Design Team Inspiration

It looks like most of our Design Team members are country girls at heart!


Catherine created a super fun, superhero in the city themed Platform Pop-Up card! The superhero mouse from You Autumn Know has a mask and cape from Happy Howloween. Catherine created the cityscape with Village Border, Build-A-Castle and Build-A-Barn. Then she added emergency vehicles from Village Heroes.


Joyce created a country fair scene with the new Ferris Wheel from Wheely Great Day! She added to scene with Village Shops and Happy Village, then she added lots of happy Tiny Friends!


What could be more “country” than a barnyard full of cute farm animals! Samantha combined Hay There with You Goat This to create a country themed birthday card!


Mimi‘s Apple-solutely Awesome apple-picking scene is so adorable! She included smaller trees from Tree Before ‘n Afters and layered all the trees on treetops from the Tree House set. She also added the wagon from Let’s Go Nuts and the net from Butterfly Kisses Flip-Flop, so clever.


You Goat This and All-Star combine in Samantha‘s country scene! I love the pink sunrays she inked in the background with white stencil paste clouds over the top!


Christy‘s amusement park scene is filled with sunshine and fun! She combined Wheely Great Day and Coaster Critters with some trees from Happy Village!


Franci‘s cute You Goat This scene makes me think of an alpine meadow in the Spring! I love that she created her scene in a die cut circle with Heart Garden Border, layering the cute goats on top!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 146 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! We can’t wait to see which theme you will choose, city vs country!

Today Mimi joins us with an amazingly creative design full of Halloween fun and treats!

The unicorn-costumed trick or treater has found an awesome assortment of treats this year! Mimi put her creative skills to work filling the Berry Special jars with candy from lots of different sets including the tiny ghost and pumpkin from Spooky Village (be sure to check out the supply list below). She combined Stadium Seating and Window Frame to create the backdrop then she set about add all the Halloween fun!

She filled the Apple-solutely Awesome baskets with candy from Costume Party and Purrfectly Wicked Add-On. Then she created the amazing gumball machine using a pot from Garden Before ‘n Afters and the small balloon from Really High Five! She fashioned the turnkey using a tiny motif from Just for You. The large jack o’ lantern is found in Happy Howloween!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Mimi! This incredibly creative card is so perfect for the Coffee, Tea & Treats challenge!
